How to Design Robot Automation Production Line for Aluminum Alloy Casting

1 Project Requirements

Application type: aluminum alloy gravity casting, molten aluminum temperature: 550°C.

2 Description of the overall scheme

Robot casting automation is a combination of the customer's existing equipment (2 holding furnaces, 5 casting machines), 1 FANUC R-2000iC/165F robot (including servo-driven pouring mechanism and base), 1 set of descaling device, 3 sets of manual loading and unloading safety channels, safety doors, safety fences and electrical control system integration. The following is an introduction to the systems and main equipment referenced in this solution.

Non-contact magnetic gears, which utilize magnetic transmission

Transmission parts that utilize magnetic force. Since it is a non-contact transmission, it is suitable for ultra-low dust and quiet applications.

Non-contact magnetic gears, which utilize magnetic transmission

1. What is a non-contact magnetic gear?

Toothless magnet gears. By using magnetic attraction and rebound, rotational motion can be transmitted in a non-contact manner without tooth meshing.

2. The main advantages of non-contact magnetic gears

It rotates in a non-contact way, so it has the following advantages.

It can be used in a clean room with an ultra-low dust generation capacity. Class 1 cleanliness is also available.

Semi-permanent, maintenance-free, no grease required · no need to replace due to wear or damage.

FANUC Payload Checker.xls Free Download

This Excel spreadsheet is provided by FANUC as an aid to determining the Wrist Load conditions of particular robots.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the spreadsheet data and formulas are correct, but FANUC does not guarantee that it is free of errors.

There may be some error margin between the load calculation result of this Excel file and the load calculation result of the robot controller.

The value of the gravitational acceleration used to calculate from V7.20 of the Excel file is changed from 9.81 to 9.8. Therefore, there is some error margin between the load calculation result of the Excel file on the previous version, 

the load calculation result of the robot controller, and the load calculation result from V7.20 of the Excel file.

Fastener Design Manual PDF Download for Free,Helical Spring Washer is Useless for Locking

This manual was written for design engineers to enable them to choose appropriate fasteners for their designs. Subject matter includes fastener material selection, platings, lubricants, corrosion, locking methods, washers, inserts, thread types and classes, fatigue loading, and fastener torque. A section on design criteria covers the derivation of torque formulas, loads on a fastener group, combining simultaneous shear and tension loads, pullout load for tapped holes, grip length, head styles, and fastener strengths. The second half of this manual presents general guidelines and selection criteria for rivets and lockbolts.
